Ultra-low shrinkage concrete is very effective for securing the quality and appearance of a concrete structure because it can control the drying shrinkage cracks of the concrete structure to within a certain limit. In this study, with the purpose of commercializing ultra-low shrinkage concrete, the optimal amount of expansive agent and shrinkage reducing agent was determined through a lab test, and a concrete wall mock-up test was conducted to examine the shrinkage properties and crack control effects of ultra-low shrinkage concrete. As a result, it was confirmed that there was little drying shrinkage deformation in the wall specimen, and furthermore that no cracks were generated.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the durability of low shrinkage high performance concrete(LSHPC), which was combined with expansive additives and shrinkage reducing admixtures. We tested for not only LSHPC but also high performance concrete(HPC) and normal concrete(NC) to be compared with the durability of LSHPC. HPC was made in the same water-binder ratio of LSHPC without expansive additives and shrinkage reducing admixture. As a result, it was found that LSHPC had higher compressive and tensile strength than that of HPC. LSHPC showed more excellent performance than HPC and NC in the case of resistance to chloride ion penetration and resistance to carbonation and also showed nearly 100 durability factor in the freeze-thawing test with 500 cycles. From the examination about the watertightness and the pore distribution, it was found that the durability of LSHPC was improved because its hardened cement paste is organized closer. So we can conclude that when LSHPC is applied to structures in field, it is possible to reduce the shrinkage and crack in concrete and improve the durability.

Cement treated Soil has superior characteristics as pavement-base including strength, curability, hardness, freezing resistance. However drying shrinkage of Cement treated base has been indicated as disadvantage, since reflection crack of surface layer is induced from drying shrinkage of cement treated base. This study propriety about low-shrinkage cement treated base that can control shrinkage of cement and control reflection crack at asphalt overlay & concrete slab.

Shrinkage behaviors associated with forming drying and firing processes could be a driving force for the densification in materials. Low shrinkage-densification behaviors in clay materials have been shown to be highly dependent upon the processing parameters including particle size effect and kinetic behaviors caused by phases transformation characteristics. Chamottes pre-treated at 90$0^{\circ}C$ and 120$0^{\circ}C$ had dominent influence upon shrinkage control of materials during heat-treatment. But Coarse chamotte particles heat-treated at 120$0^{\circ}C$ did not contri-bute to any densification behaviors in clay materials while these added coarse particles could enhance near-net-shape control. Microstructure / property relationships in clay materials have been thought to be directly influenced by optimized characteristics between low shrinkage and densification behaviors.

This study developed a high strength and performance concrete pavement material with low shrinkage and reflection of sunlight. Based on the literature review, a new mix-design of applying flash ash to improve the strength and performance of the concrete as well as to reduce the dry shrinkage is suggested. In addition, adding black pigment to reduce the reflection and technique of applying OAG (Optimized Aggregate Gradation) is also included. The result of the laboratory experiment indicates that the brightness and the reflection, which depends on the ratio of black pigment addition, did not deviate from the normal range. When OAG is considered for the mix-design, the strength and performance of the concrete improved greatly. In addition, the mix-design using fly ash reduced the dry shrinkage of concrete and improved the resistance to the permeation of chloride ion. Furthermore, the mix-design, which uses fly ash (25% replacement) and black pigment (3% addition) with the application of OAG, is found to be the most effective mix to reduce the shrinkage and reflection as well as improving the strength and performance of the concrete. The result of an economic analysis indicates that the initial construction cost of this proposed mix is more expensive than that of normal concrete pavement material. However, it can be more economic in the long run because the normal concrete pavement material is likely to cost more due to higher probability of maintenance and repair and higher social cost due to traffic accident, etc.

By using homestyle microwave oven, Al-Al2O3 powder mixture could be oxidized and sintered into Al2O3 body. The differences in powder characteristics among the differently processed raw materials affect the oxidation and sintering behaviours, and these effects were more pronounced in case of microwave oven than of conventional furnace. Al-Al2O3 powder mixture was oxidized and sintered within 2hrs, which could save both processing time and energy.
